SCROLLINGONBY from iLL SKOOL by BeeZDee BOY

Written and recorded Aug 21, 2025. Inspired by Song for a Man by Beastie Boys.

Inspired by how easy it is to get someone to take their time
if you upset them, say something they deem as negative, bad, against their thoughts, vibe, idea...
they'll take time to comment back..reply..
and let you know how wrong..how bad your comment was..
yet..they don't take that same time to comment back..
after saying something kind..supportive.
They claim they would have checked out your music
if you hadn't have posted a comment they didn't like..
yet, they don't check out your music even when you post a nice comment..lol..
You can't win.
This song is about how people are addicted to apps, lies. liars, being poisoned..consumers...scrolling past most people
trying to get a fix...mostly charmed by big numbers..
celebs..sexualized content and etc.

Lyrics

I WROTE A SONG FOR THE MAN
AND THAT MAN IS ME…
YEAH, ONE LONELY BEASTIE I BE

I USED TO ROCK THAT JOEY VALENCE AND BRAE
NOW JVB DON’T DO IT FOR ME,

BEEN DOWN WITH BEASTIEBOYS SINCE 1986
OLD SKOOL HIP HOP THAT’S MY SHIT

ALMOST 55 STILL KICKN IT ALIVE,
WORLD BE CRAZY AND I WILL SURVIVE

I’M JUST TRYING FIGURE IT OUT
AND PEOPLE KEEP ON SCROLLING BY
YO
I GUESS I’LL BE AN OUTCAST
TIL I DIE,
CAUSE PEOPLE KEEP ON SCROLLING BY YO
I’M JUST TRYING FIGURE IT OUT
AND PEOPLE KEEP ON SCROLLING BY
YEAH
I GUESS I’LL BE AN OUTCAST
TIL I DIE,
CAUSE ALL YOU PEOPLE KEEP SCROLLING ON BY

NO MATTER THE DAY
YOU GOT NOTHING TO SAY
NO COMMENT NO THOUGHTS
NO FUN WORD PLAY
ONLINE OFFLINE
REJECTION IS SAD,
YOU GET MORE ATTENTION
WHEN YOU MAKE PEOPLE MAD

WE WANT WORLD PEACE
FOR THE BOYS AND THE GIRLS
SO MANY EVIL PEOPLE
RUNNING THE WORLD
POLLUTING AND POISONING
OUR FAMILY
FOOD AIR WATER FROM A TO Z

THEY WANT US DIVIDED AND LIVING IN FEAR
DISTRACTIONS PILING UP EACH YEAR
PEOPLE ADDICTED TO APPS AND LIES
HYPNOTIZED PEOPLE KEEP SCROLLING ON BY

I’M JUST TRYING FIGURE IT OUT
AND PEOPLE KEEP ON SCROLLING BY
YO
I GUESS I’LL BE AN OUTCAST
TIL I DIE,
CAUSE PEOPLE KEEP ON SCROLLING BY YO
I’M JUST TRYING FIGURE IT OUT
AND PEOPLE KEEP ON SCROLLING BY
YEAH
I GUESS I’LL BE AN OUTCAST
TIL I DIE,
CAUSE ALL YOU PEOPLE KEEP SCROLLING ON BY
